SHADE ROLLER MOUNTING Filed April 28, 1950 M 2% By Attorney INVENTOR movement of the bracket members.v

socket elements and the face of the window sash and by having the overhanging parts 9 g and 7&2, k resting on the parts f of the socket elements. WVhen the shade roller J is mounted in the openings g and k the brackets G and H are each laterally moved outwardly toward its respective side of the window sash and when sojmoved the lips g and h are caused to underlie the lower edges of the socket elements and thereby provide latching means for preventing the accidental withdrawal of the bracket members from the socket elements. To accomplish this it will of course be understood that the shade roller J must be of a length to cause such lateral t will also be understood that the bracket members being formed of sheet metal they will possess a certain amount of inherent resiliency which will also serve to effectively support the shade roller and compensate for any deficiency or excessive length of such shade roller.

Should it be desired to clean the windows the shade roller J can be readily removed, whereupon the brackets G and H can be lifted out of their respective socket elements, thereby leaving the upper sash A to freely pass the lower sash B, it being understood that the thickness of the'spacing ribs 6 and e are greater than the depth of the socket elements F. To again'mount the shade roller it is merely necessary to insert the brackets in their respective socket elements and position the pins on-the shade roller into the openings provided therefor in said brackets. While I have, shown and described a pre ferred embodiment of my invention, it is, to be understood that I do not wishto belimited to the details of construction disclosed, since modifications thereof may be resorted to with out departing from the spirit of the invention.

hat I claim is '1. A shade roller mounting comprising a member adapted to be secured. to the face of a'window sash and to provide therewith a socket, an angular bracket having an arm adapted to support one end of ashade rollerand an arm having a part insertable into the socket and a part adapted to seat against'the top of the member, the part which is insert- 7 able into the socket being of less width than said socket and adapted for lateral movement therein and cooperating parts on said socket member and said insertable part for latching said members together when said, insertable part is laterally moved within the socket member.

2. A shade roller mounting comprising a sheet metal member having a central portion which is offset from the plane of the metal whereby to provide a socketwhen said member is secured to a window sash or the like,

an angularbracket formed of sheet metal,

one arm ofsaid bracket having an opening arm of said bracket having a tongue which is provided at its free end with a lateral lip, said tongue being of less width than the socket and engageable therein and adapted to have its free end protrude therethrough and a second part on said arm adapted to seat on the top edge of said socket containing member when the tongue is seated therein, said tongue being laterally movable in said socket to a position where'the lateral lip underlies the lower edge of the socket containingmember to provide a latch for preventing accidental withdrawal of the bracket from the socket member.

3. In combination with a movable window sash having a flat socket member near each lateral edge, of a pair of complemental angular bracket members, each having an arm pro vided' with a tongue engaging vertically in one of the sockets and a part resting on the top edge of said sockets, said tongues being each of less width than the sockets and provided at their free ends with a lip which is directed outwardly toward the window frame, and an arm having an opening, the openings in said arms being in horizontal alignment, and a shade roller supported in said brackets with the end pins of the roller engaging in the openings in said arms, the shade roller when mounted in said brackets causing an outward lateral movement of the tongues, whereby the lips thereon are moved into position to underlie the lower edge of the socket members to latch the brackets against accidental removal. 7

In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
